"Extremely rare Ace Tone CANARY S-3 transistor based vintage analog synthesizer produced in few exemplars around 1965.
It come in great conditions and Works! Sound particularly vintage, very hot character, exotic tones with tonic color. Vca is light opto controlled, the large knob ...like car gear ;-)
Funny are the two upper white push buttons (white and coloured noise) made for make manual rhythm, awesome. *This wonderful (ad-hoc) yellow travel case is included in this sale lot, in order to preserve well this beautiful jewel. Please check my others listed vintage stuff"

"A detailed demo and tutorial of Digitalis a multi-effect digital degradation and glitch tool from Aberrant DSP. It includes a Data module for spectral manipulation, Corruption module for digital distortion (decimation, bitcrush, bit rot), and a Time module for beat-repeating effects. The plug-in also features a digital assistant modeled after Aberrant DSP's resident cat Jon.
'Digitalis is a multi-effect digital degradation and glitch tool. Inspired by bad converters, unearthed CDs, weak internet connections, and catastrophic errors, Digitalis is your personal vehicle through an endless digital wasteland.'"
"This week's Patch of The Week was inspired by the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey', and uses the LUNAR MODULE by AJH Synth to process audio samples from the film, whilst various other Eurorack modules build the accompanying melodic drone to provide the musical backing.
The Lunar Module is an audio processor and noise generator, which also features distortion, a bit-reduction/bit-crushing effect, and a recreation of the 'Quindar' sounds (beeps) used in the actual NASA Apollo space program/missions of the 1960's to early 70's. In conjunction with the Lunar Module's other sound processing tools this can be used to simulate the lo-fi audio transmissions of the time and then applied to anything. All the features are also useful individually, from a customisable noise source, to adding distortion and bit-reduction to any incoming audio or Eurorack level signals, even melodic sounds.
This performance originally appeared at the end of the Lunar Module User Guide video - check it out for all the details on what it can do and how to use it.
Check out the AJH Synth playlists for module 'User Guides', and 'Patch of The Week' videos, which will be either performances or 'how to' guides, detailing functions/methods, and a range of sounds, some familiar, some less so, containing a patch sheet at the end to show you how to construct it for yourself: https://youtu.be/89bv0dI8yw4
"The Lunar Module is a fun Eurorack module for recreating the sound character of early space missions, or adding noise and bandwidth limitation to mics, line-level audio, samples, and synth modules. It's effects can be triggered manually, or from gate signals, and include noise with colour control (a bipolar low pass and high pass filter), hum effects with frequency control, variable distortion, and 'Quindar' - an authentic beep used at the beginning and end of transmissions from the Apollo space capsule back to the NASA Huston control centre.
As with all AJH Synth modules, the Lunar Module is designed to be played, and it's pots and jack sockets are made easily accessible so that live tweaking is not hindered, and controls are all substantial in size and spacing. Most are based on vintage synthesizer circuits and designs, bringing the sounds, behaviour and character of classic synths to Eurorack modular, but with the advantage of modern reliability, compatibility, flexibility, and understanding of the needs of modern musicians.

"Kate famously used the Fairlight CM. QasarBeach was captured with no edits, overdub or added effects to create the Code Mix. https://adamstrange.itch.io/qasarbeach
'QasarBeach CMI IIz' is a Fairlight CMI simulator written from the ground up that does an amazing job of recreating the user interface and functionality of the original hardware, while adding many useful improvements that makes workflow faster and more intuitive."
"Everything from the Spectralis - Half of the drums were fed into the 12db LP filter and an oscillator was used to frequency modulate the filter, creating a ring-mod sort of sound that could be sequenced to different pitch.
Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb. There was only a single pass done, so everything you hear is from the SUM output."
"Based on the Nucelus voice card - 3 osc, 8pole multimode filter, 4 LFOs 4 Envelopes, the Iliad
is a four voice poly (expandable up to 16).
Each voice has a single analog, plus two digital Osc with wavefolding and many other modulation points.
Its still in development and we weren't able to hear much of it today. There are demos of the Nucleus available (and you can buy it) on the @Mike @ Artisan channel
The Iliad is going to be built to order (he thinks around 20 units a year).
The four voice base setup will be around $3400 with and extra $400 a voice."
See the Artisan and Knobcon labels below for more.
"Catalyst Audio have a couple of tube based modules: VCO, Noise Source, Mixer, Filter and VCA.
The VCO and noise source actually use tubes to create the sound rather than 'warm them up'.
The VCO has a pair of tubes, one for each side of the wave which gives some interesting configurations of waveforms, with wave folding and PWM, plus a feedback path that adds some unique resonant shapes.
The noise source has a number of noise sources, with the option to tune the noise to sound a little like a fiilterbank (to my ears).
The Mixer uses a tube to add drive at the output stage.
They are aiming to be ready to ship by Jan/Feb 2023 - price tbc.

"Kanawha music build pipe organs but the market ain't what it used to be (apparently) so now they are turning their attention to poly Eurorack modules. Using divide down technology from transistor organs. Its called the Long Division Tone Module
This means they have complete polyphony., if you want a regular pure organ sound then this is the module for you.
they also have a module called 48 gates that will give you 48 separate gate outputs for triggering solenoids, or drum triggers or whatnot.
Yeah its niche, but its interesting.
The "formal" introduction of the new Long Division organ/piano Eurorack module.
Xenakis- Evryali (excerpt)
This is a MIDI file from the internet played back on the Long Division tone module in Piano mode. This demonstrates how the module can deal with large clumps of notes- since there's no limit on the number of notes in can play at once no notes drop out. (They DO drop out at some points because the score goes beyond the 61 notes of an organ/synth keyboard- the original music was written for piano.) The sound from the module was sent straight into the camera with to processing or effects.
Long Division Module- Organ and piano tones
Here we have the Long Division module busting a move with some Hammond-ish sounds and piano tones. The sound from the module is going straight in to the camera with no processing of any kind.
Introducing the Long Division Tone Module: the first completely polyphonic Eurorack module using 100% analog divide-down tone generation.
The Long Division tone module has features not found elsewhere:
12 independent and free running oscillators, one for each note of the scale
"A brief demonstration of our second module, 48 Gates. It's just a big bunch of gates."
48 GATES- 48 heavy duty 12V outputs to run solenoids, relays, LEDs, whatever you like.
48 GATES- it’s nothing but a big bunch of outputs, 48 of ’em, ready to activate anything you like, with standard heavy duty 12V outputs, logic level 5V available as a no cost option.
So…what do you with this thing? Here are a few ideas:
Run a looped 48 note chromatic sequence, and have 48 individual time slots for drum machines or other pattern making sounds. Don’t like the timing on one position? Move it over one for slight timing adjustments.
Make some LED plugs and create a fantastic dot matrix display which an easily be read across a room.
Activate solenoids, relays, small motors, whatever you like, and “play” them from any MIDI source.
"Madisynths is a Reverb store and has a couple of new Frequency Central Modules:
Acropoli Sequencer with clock division used in a performative way, changing division on the fly, dropping in CV melody tracks.
Gate mode, scale mode are both CV controllable too, leading to a lot of creative options.
There's only a couple in stock for now, but in the next 4-6weeks they will be coming in in larger numbers priced at $299.
